Plugin causing redirects

I am very new to wordpress. I downloaded this plugin to try and not have to manually select on all links that I wanted them to open in a new tab. Now, every permalink I had that went to another part of the website is redirecting instead to a search!

A good example is the first link on this page
https://hallsofmirrors.com/hobby-update-26-7-19/

It does open in a new tab, but goes to http://dnserrorassist.att.net/search

At this point, I just want it to go back to the way it was.
